Would you like to know more about the history of invasive species in Irish forestry? Watch IPRRG's seminar #19, where I talk about the history of Irish forestry, susceptibility to invasive species, and what we can learn from past outbreaks. shorturl.at/DLe5h #Forestry #Ireland #Invasive #Species

Ultan kicks off our SBES postgrad seminar day @ucdscience.bsky.social @ultanodonnell.bsky.social

I'll be presenting my research on the history of invasive forestry pests in Ireland on Fri May 30th 9:30AM for IPRRG's first webinar of 2025. If you're curious about how data rescue can help tackle shifting baseline syndrome, join the Zoom! lnkd.in/dQmHYZ_m #Invasions #DataRescue #Forestry

Scannell’s Whitebeam, named after the great Irish botanist Maura Scannell, is one of the rarest tree species in the world. Endemic to Ross Island, Killarney, it has 5 known plants, only 1 mature adult, and is registered as critically endangered by the IUCN. #Ireland #biodiversity #forestry #botany

Grateful to receive an award from @ucdscience.bsky.social over the weekend. Thanks to my supervisor @jonyearsley.bsky.social for encouraging me to explore new opportunities & to my peers for their support. Encouraging to see my work beyond research recognised! #UCD #PhD #Science #Award

Honoured to win Best Natural History Presentation sponsored by the Irish Naturalist' Journal at #Environ2025! My research on using host trees to predict invasive forestry pests could help prioritise high-risk 🪲🍄🦠 species & guide future surveillance in Ireland. @ucdscience.bsky.social #Invasive

Global insect invasions are increasing, driven by advances in globalization and technology. A Review in Nature Reviews Biodiversity discusses the effects of increasing trade and transport on insect invasions worldwide, and strategies for mitigation. https://go.nature.com/3X6QkHk

I'm looking forward to presenting my research at Environ 2025 in UCD on the 11th of March at 12pm. I will be taking part in the One Health and Biodiversity Conservation and Ecosystem Restoration session. #Environ2025 #invasive #forestry #research #SDM
